A quiet post today... As I think about Christmas... And what it really means... That God became MAN... Left His heavenly home... And came to this earth, knowing exactly what He would have to face... And yet He came anyways... Lived a perfect, sinless life... To face the death of all deaths... To take my punishment... Your punishment... So that we might live again... That we might have life and have it to the fullest... That's CHRISTmas... That's the gospel...

I'm thirty today... It's hard to believe... Really hard! But as I look back over my life, I can't help but wonder at the joy that has filled it! From a wonderful childhood to four enjoyable highschool years followed by the adventures of University... Then marriage to the man of my dreams... And now two lovely daughters... And the Lord has been guiding my steps each and every day... Full of common grace and then saving grace... "He's always been faithful to me..." {Sara Groves}

'"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' {Jeremiah 21:11}

And for your enjoyment... Some pictures from those wonderful years... Enjoy and Happy Christmas Eve!

This weekend I would like to take the time to make a lovely little Peppermint Christmas Tree... We'll see how that goes... With presents to wrap, old friends visiting for lunch on Saturday, a Christmas Party Saturday night and two little girls in toe, it promises to be a busy one... But these little trees inspire me! Enjoy!
